That's great! I also carry around a slip of paper in my billfold with serial numbers just in case. I know another collector who also does the same although he actually carrys around a small pocket not ...

Trey, you reported the highest numbered series 23 with long rod to be 86,759. Would that coincide with when the Kokura Arsenal ceased manufacturing rifles with monopods and dustcovers? I'm also curiou ...

Just an fyi, I checked the short push-in rods on my late 23rd and early 24th series rifles and both appear to be identical in dimensions. It would be interesting to see a 37th push-in rod. Hopefully m ...

Use of the short push-in rod for such a short period of time (maybe 10,000 or so rifles) makes for an interesting variation. I am lucky to have acquired 2 rifles with the short push-in rod. One a lat ...

And did the short push-in rod start in the 23rd Series in the 90,000+ sn range?

Thanks for the response Trey. I have one with a large trigger guard dated Aug or Sep of '41 and was curious about it. It has a bullet or shrapnel "ding" in the barrel and all matching including the ma ...

I am a babe in the woods when it comes to these pistols so here goes with my question. What year did they start making them with the larger trigger guard? Did they phase out the ones with the smaller ...

Do you think the mum defacement occurred prior to the Americans taking control of the arsenals and weapons turn-ins or afterwards? Do you think large scale mum defacement occurred after the Americans ...

Mag, I live 1000 miles away and wouldn't be able to go but what's the date of your 7.7 match? Is it strictly Japanese or a competition against other countries firearms? I always enjoy your posts! Ki ...

"It makes no sense to me that any US order to remove the mum would be so fully carried out if we cannot document that order today. "

I agree with the statement to a point. Funny a document hasn't b ...

Hey Mag, how did the match go? More details (and pictures) the better! I hope not hearing from you doesn't mean the Japanese rifles came in dead last!!!

Do all the Type 99 (longs) dustcovers have the L-stop or is it also a matter that some do, some don't? Kim

It always seemed to make sense to me that the completely ground mums were done when the fellows doing it had time and access to a grinder. I assume rifles coming out of arsenals or main weapons depots ...
